After almost a week of usage I have only one thing to report..

I am having a strange issue with the UI (or the launcher that is..) It happens randomly that the whole UI becomes non animated.. Let me explain this..

For example, when I wake up the phone and go to unlock it, the lock slider doesnt move from left to right, instead, it just vibrates and when i move it to the far right it unlocks.. Then if i go to the dialer, it pops up with a black screen only and i need to go back and re launch it several times in order for it to show up the numbers etc.. Also if i try to reboot the phone from the power menu, it just blurs and dims the screen as if the power menu is open, but the menu is not even being shown. But, if i somehow pinpoint the location of the reboot option it will restart the phone..

Since noone has reported anything similar (as far as ive read the thread here... i didnt actually use the search for it..) my guess would be an app conflict..

I was on Oxygen 2.0 and upgraded to 2.0.1 via the updater.. So I'll do a complete wipe in the next few days and install 2.0.1 directly and see if it shows up.. Ill keep you updated, but in case anyone has an idea of whats probably causing this, please inform me.

Regards,

Chichoko

I had this exact same problem recently, applications showing black screens, menus not showing, lists not being scrollable, lockscreen slider frozen. I rebooted to fix it but I haven't found any way to reproduce it. It only happened a few days into my 2nd full wipe
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Power + trackpad + vol down will break the bootloop without having to pull the battery :)
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0wl:
I finally moved away from stock ROM to oxygen :) It took me a while, but after adjusting some settings, everything is now just the way I like it. I installed only a few apps, most of them are from google and will report back somewhere next week if I encounter problems etc.

The only issue I ever encountered, was that the 3D launcher was kinda shaky after playing angry birds, but this issue has been mentioned here before a few times and installing another launcher, with 2D app drawer fixes the problem. (the underlying cause probably still exists, but it just isn't noticeable anymore ;))
[Desire Android Development] payaxy:
How long has it been with only default launcher? Can you still confirm it was the launcher issue? Or was it the kernel?
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
It is definitely not a kernel related issue.

I suspect a launcher - Launcher Pro performs awful on GingerBread, it had a huuuuuuge battery drain. ADW-Launcher did not perform very well as well. I suppose it has to do with some "hacks" the Launchers are using.

I am currently using Go Launcher EX which not only surprised me (it is a GREAT Launcher) but also I had no issues up until now. The BootLoops are most def. connected to an 3rd-party-app, and I suppose the homelauncher is the best contender.

@Schwarz33: That seems probable. Wait...how many of you use Beautiful Widgets?
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
I've been running launcher pro for a few months now and it runs great on GB.
[Desire Android Development] Xinot:
... Removed POINTLESS logs...
[Desire Android Development] fbunnyuk:
I can't confirm either i'm afraid. If I was going to make an educated guess I would point my finger at the launchers, they're not 100% compatible with gingerbread. All I can state is that with my current setup and my usual apps(-launcher) my phone is stable.

The kernel update I did was to fix the WiFi.
[Desire Android Development] AzureusPT:
I don't know if the reboots are tied to a launcher, but I'm using Zeam Launcher as default (I deleted the default one) and so far I haven't suffered any reboots.

My guess is that since Google has changed soooo many things in 2.3 that where possible doing in Froyo and below, many apps might not be prepared for it and might make the system unstable.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
this is a good point... I never thought before, me too... almost never suffered spontaneous reboots with Oxygen 2.0.x also never had issues with Redux & latest Amethyst rom (GRI40), so I suppose that or I'm very lucky or GB roms doesn't give troubles, at least for me :D

like you... I use Zeam & deleted stock launcher ;)
[Desire Android Development] shokka9:
Just thought i would add my thoughts on this release...been using it from Day one, and had NO bootloops, crashes or FCs.

I am running Zeam, and quite a few other apps. In fact my usual dose of apps.

ROM is very stable and very reliable.

People with issues need to look at each app they install and see how it affects the phones performance. It is pretty pointless posting stuff saying such and such is FC'ing and i get constant boot loops and posting logcats etc.

Everybody installs different stuff, ofc not all apps are GB approved or even GB ready. It takes time.

So, please assess the situation before you start saying this and that.

These guys (devs) know what they are doing, if they release something, it is with MINIMAL bugs and the bugs which exist are not going to affect you in a major way.

I just hate visiting this thread and its full of posts that seem to fill most threads these days (basic questions and queries).

Enjoy, and if you feel you have too many bad experiences with this ROM or other ROMs, then i think you need to flash an RUU and keep it like that!!

Then you can bug HTC and not the devs

:)
[Desire Android Development] koelspy:
I'm also using Zeam, but got 2 crashes with bootloop. Only with 2.0.1, with 2.0 I never got a crash/bootloop.
[Desire Android Development] Xinot:
Yup, and i have used this release too from day one and had no FC's, reboots etc. before. Nothing new installed but now had 2 crashes with boot loops in last two days.. Had zero FC's or crashes with previous release either...

So, it's pointless to say that YOU have no problems like this...

:rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
It didn't say it doesn't run well, it just performs not good.

I used launcher pro as well for at least 3 months now, but just recently discovered that it indeed was the reason for the battery drain I experienced. I switched the launcher and everything is fine again.

While using LauncherPro I had at least 50% battery usage by the display - despite I didn't use it very frequently. At one point I didn't use it at all, but still >50% battery usage. Switched to Go Launcher EX and now my display is at merely 25%, which seems far more reasonable.

Just my 2 cents, of course this could be caused by widgets and the combination with launcherpro, but well...that is beyond me.

@koelspy: Do you use Beautiful Widgets?

@Xinot: Yeah, but you have to admit that there just has to be an issue with either the apps or something the user does, because the bugs just don't occur on every device, they are occuring on official devices as well (so, it has nothing to do with the special rom you are using) and they seem to be unreproducable, nobody can state exactly where the error derives from, when it occurs, why it occurs.
[Desire Android Development] koelspy:
No. If you want a list of apps I have installed, please ask.
[Desire Android Development] ledzgio:
I have another problem...sometimes (usually after some hours usage) i get all the popups and the keyboard invisible (all black) and i have to guess the right button to reboot the phone.

Anyone else with this issue?
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
I've haven't had any battery drain issues with Launcher Pro. Can easily get 2 days usage out of my phone with moderate-heavy usage.

The percentage displayed for the display and other things has nothiung to do with how much it's actually using. The numbers in the battery usage will ALWAYS equal 100%. If your screen percentage is at 70 or whatever, it just means that you're running less stuff. If you load up a bunch of apps, the screen's usage % will drop. Even though it's using the same amount that it was before.
[Desire Android Development] shokka9:
Well.....This is the ROM thread, there is a Q&A thread... have you posted there?

I gave my feedback and general opinion. Every Oxygen ROM i have flashed gave me NO problems. I am however extremely literate in the use of ROMs and how and what can affect their performance.

So, i think its very relevant to say i have no problems like this....because i dont.

However i accept that people will experience many different issue and also have many different variable that lead to certain issues.

Good luck and happy flashing!

:)
[Desire Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
Sometimes It's not the app itself, but the cached data that makes problems. After I flashed 2.0 from RC7, my keyboard (HTC IME) crashed my phone. It stopped after I deleted the saved data. Also had 3 other apps that did not work, which I fixed by clearing their cached data.

So try that first if you have any problems.
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
Yeah, I am familiar with the concept of perccentages...

So I will come again:

While using the same, stuff, the exact same stuff to be precise, and doing the exact same stuff for 1 hour - there is a huge difference in the percentages.

Where LauncherPro displays 50% of display-using, Go Launcher displays only 25% percent.

It also drains less battery. With LauncherPro after one hour I have lost around 18% of battery, while using Go Launcher drains only 7%.

Additionaly: With LauncherPro the display-usage NEVER drops under any other 'user' - so the display alsways is using the most power (even though it had not been touched). With Go Launcher it actually drops beyond other services (such as mobile-standby).

I do not really see your point here... as I stated: This also could be related to some widgets and the combination with launcherpro. I stated a simple FACT, but it could very well be that this only applies to exactly one person: Me. (But yeah, search other forums as well, you will see, that more people have problem with LauncherPro)
[Desire Android Development] iroha.:
solution to the mobile data error ?

i've used the search function but couldnt find a solution, so i ask.

if i use wi fi for a moderate time and want to turn it off or leaving the area

the mobile data connection isn't turning on again.

i've had this behaviour in RC7 in 2.0 and in 2.01 ... in the old thread

there was a pseudo solution to that by switching to 2g and then back to 2g/3g

but this is not really satisfying.

fyi this problem isn't listed in the bug tracker of oxygen ..

but it is listed in the bug tracker of cyanogenmod 7 (Bug Tracker (CM7))

is there any solution to that ?

thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] J_B204:
IIRC when first using go launcher it actually warns you about excessive battery drain and it being something they are working on. May be wrong through!

Edit: misread original post, thought that poster was saying golauncher was using too much battery! Sorry, mods please delete if appropriate.
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
yes, this is being reported by a lot of users (but not by all). I had it too a long time. But I had it also on the stock-htc rom... so, it does not seem to be specific to the rom but rather due to the radio.

It went away for me with oxygen 2.0, I don't know why though.

Switch between "airplane"-mode or between 2G/3G - the connection will restore.
[Desire Android Development] joojooman:
Simply fabiolus ROM

Just wanted to thank AdamG for this wonderful ROM. The only problem that I had was the drop call. I simply updated the radio to the latest one. SOLVED. Thanks a lot man.:)
[Desire Android Development] CaptainCookie:
Yup, had exactly the same problem a few days ago. The notification area was translucent too.
[Desire Android Development] Kalavere:
I've upgraded from my favoured RC5 to the final build, and I must say RC5 is much faster, I prefer the lesser screen complexity/graphics that was tested in RC5 but not kept in subsequent builds. I've had no issues at all coming from a fresh install.

The battery drain seems a lot quicker using Thalamus' kernels, no disrespect intened, far from it. I might switch to a Vork kernel once again, but I usually click into my dock for a charge at night at 50% something and last night, the battery actually died as I was taking a drink to bed, sods law. But then again maybe my playing Final Fantasy VII a bit more than usual is having something to do with it. ;)

Other than that I'm a happy camper, thumbs up all round, I'll tinker with my kernel and see if it makes a difference.

:D
[Desire Android Development] iroha.:
ok .. found the reason for this... the problem is not rom related..

it is because of the radio ... it seems that my provider "o2 Germany"

have set up their apn server in a way that the newest radio (5.14.05.17) causes

this problem... i changed the radio to 5.09.05.30_2 and everythin works fine ...
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
Be glad that it is working for you.

I have been using that radio version (5.09.05.30_2) since the OpenDesire and I still have that problem. :(
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
yes I tried that version two days ago without any luck.

[Desire Android Development] p5x:
Had this happen to me a couple of times as well, haven't been able to reproduce it though. I'm using stock kernel with zeam launcher. One time I rebooted and all the homescreen widgets/shortcuts were missing but when you actually press on that part of the screen (eg-handcent widget) the programme loads up.

Weird...but like I say, it's only happened a couple of times and I haven't been able to replicate it. Like you say, it's probably an app misbehaving somewhere
[Desire Android Development] :
I have been using Oxygen v2.0.1 for a couple of days now, and I must say that I am really satisfied, and that it has been running really stable.

One thing that is pretty annoying is the 1 to 2 second delay after answering a phone call.

Has the cause of this problem been found yet, and will it be fixed in future releases?

[Desire Android Development] alex_mobile:
Me too :( I had this problem with swype and the gingerkeyboard
[Desire Android Development] chronicfathead:
Swapped from using Launcher Pro (7 screens and lots of Widgets) to Zeam with 3 screens and only two Widgets.

I would normally have 30-50% left, but with Zeam my battery had died by 10pm.

Battery loss could be to do with 3rd party apps, but may be difficult to find out what is causing it. Some people recommended moving to Zeam, but I saw bigger battey drain with Zeam.

Could it be related to how apps are installed?

I'm thinking of creating a form, where you can say what launcher you are using and if you get good battery life, to see if anything shows up.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
Why should apps get installed differently when using zeam than when using launcher pro?

Greetings,

KBanause
[Desire Android Development] davedes:
I use zeam and I get brilliant battery life. Could be alot of things that are possibly draining your bat. What kernel are you using? What apps are you running? How often do you apps and Widgets sync? From my personal experience launcher pro has higher batter drain than zeam.
[Desire Android Development] koelspy:
About the spontaneous reboots (and then the bootloop): is it possible to capture some logging about the reboot (and not the bootloop)???

It is good to fix the bootloop, but it is even better to fix the spontaneous reboots, right?
[Desire Android Development] Alas2708:
I can confirm that this does work. Flash the rom in recovery, then immediately flash the apps2sd remover. Reboot, let the rom load and do the minimal configuration. Reboot to recovery and flash the data2sd installer. Reboot and voilà...
[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
i can confirm that it works aswell. You need to flash the .zip files in the right way.

I did the following:

Titanium Bckup -> CWM backup (if it fails) -> Boot into CWM Recovery -> Wipe Partition cache -> wipe data/factory reset -> format system -> wipe Dalvik Cache --- Flash -> update-oxygen-2.0.1-signed.zip -> A2SDKillerV5.zip -> reboot --- @1st boot, reboot into CWM recovery again --- Flash -> Data2SDInstallerV5_aosp.zip -> Reboot and continue phone setup -> Titanium Backup (app/data restore)

get the .zip files here DATA2SD
[Desire Android Development] chichoko:
I got the "blank keyboard" error today for the first time... there is definately something going on with the launcher..sadly i cannot replicate the problem at all :/ it happens randomly and only a reset fixes it...

Your question should be in the DHD forum, or the Oxygen Q&A thread in the Desire Q&A forum.

While streaming video / audio and using volume button up and down, reboot occurs.

[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
In my opinion it should make no difference whether you install an app through the market, titanium backup, manually or via "adb install".
[Desire Android Development] websinister:
have you installed/flashed other kernel?? try to download the latest from thalamus...

@peranbintang. I had the same issues. Flashing a different radio (.27) did the trick.

[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
You may verify if your OS is using the SD extX filte system by checking /data/app. If it's a symbolic link to /sd-ext/app then your extX partition is used. The verification process supposes a root shell to your device (either by adb shell or by using a terminal emulator on the phone, then su ...).
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
The script that is installed with Oxygen automatically checks whether there is an ext partition available or not. If it is, it will move /data/app to /sdcard/app and then makes a symbolic link from /data/app to /sdcard/app. This check will be done on EACH reboot. You don't need to wipe and do a clean install.
[Desire Android Development] websinister:
this may answer your Q - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11702701&postcount=181

you can check out benee or coutts' latest kernel builds specifically for Oxygen.

For those having problems with GPS, remember that unless an app is actively using GPS a lock may not be maintained. I.e. if you just enable GPS nothing will happen. Also some GPS software have settings to disable GPS if the software is running in the background (I use Aura and this automatically disables GPS after 10 mins if running in the background) . The GPS toggle shows still enabled but lock isn't maintained)

I learned on this (or on the 2.0 RC thread) another nice trick on how to get rid of the random reboots: configure Titanium Backup to do daily backups followed by reboots. I do this at 2:00 AM. It works like a charm.

Didn't work for me either.

I use the hosts file from www.dnlgee.me.uk/hosts - just flash via recovery

Thanks, seems to have worked :) I'm sure I have tried it before and I thought it just stopped the phone from registering on the network but seems fine now. I assume the scheduled reboot is a paid TB feature? Can't see the option on mine.

****Update just found it, have to scroll down on schedule page, simple but not obvious :p Paid TB obviously gives daily backup options, I only have 2x per week... will prob buy soon :)

[Desire Android Development] Pyr0wl:
Somewhere past week, I said that I would report back about my findings on this ROM, so here I am.

First, my current setup:

- S-OFF with the stock partition layout

- No EXT partition on the sdcard

- Oxygen's stock kernel

- Livewallpapers.apk from Oxygen RC7 (I like the nexus s live wallpaper)

- Installed applications: adfree, flash player, adobe reader, angry birds, dropbox, es file explorer, facebook, google goggles, google translate, launcherpro, maps (with street view), twitter and typoclock.

So, what about the ROM? Well, so far it has been running great. I get 2 ~ 3 days battery with normal use (few phone calls, about 20 text messages, some browsing, using twitter app, listening some music..) I haven't had any FC errors yet (except with the live wallpaper with the water and the leaves? But I think that's due to the fact that I used the Livewallpapers.apk from RC7, so no complaints here)

The only bugs I've encountered so far are:

- slow transfer speed when using usb mass storage (this is a known problem and can be fixed by flashing another kernel)

- 3D drawer is kinda shaky when having played angry birds (fixed by using launcherpro's 2D launcher)

- Keyboard didn't show popup window with smileys etc. (fixed with a reboot)

- Dialer didn't show when tapping a phone number (fixed with a reboot)

And that would be about it. This is by far the best ROM I've ever had and as a HTC Sense fan, that says a lot.

Keep up the great work Adam! :)

[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Probably going to need to reinstall TBH.

On other rom's I'd suggest a cache wipe as it can sometime it can get full of APK's from old downloads - but Oxygen is written to push market downloads to your SD card anyway.
